Attentive service and delicious food. Surprised that it wasn't busier. We walked in with 6 people and they graciously accommodated us. Server had good product knowledge and made great recommendations. Everyone at the table loved what they ordered. The place is super clean with modern decor. read more

I have been here twice and I was not disappointed with either visit. It is cool that they have multicolored drinks to put a touch of creativity into the mix. I also see the creativity in the titles of the dishes. The food is good, but there is something that it needs to take it to that next level if they want to compete with the many other Thai restaurants in the area. I can't quite put my finger on what that thing is. The location is great and so is the atmosphere. I like that they added a deck outside to enjoy the fresh air. I may be back at some point soon. read more

Some of my favorite curry in the Burgh. The restaurant itself is nice and clean and intimate. The take-out is just as delicious as the food served at the restaurant. This place is great! read more

I agree with the high ratings. This is the best Thai food I've had in Pittsburgh! Also, their contactless pickup is appreciated.

Very pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. Great food, modern decor and very pleasant staff. The chicken and tofu in their menu is organic and the taste definitely comes through in the dishes. I eat very spicy food and the "medium" was sufficient enough for me :-) This is definitely on my list of restaurants to come back to. read more

Got take out from here and it was delicious! Really good spice level and friendly service. Personally my favorite Thai place in Shadyside! Also a cute and aesthetically pleasing location as it's in the bottom floor of a converted house! read more

I went there early Nov 2017 and had a very pleasant experience. They have done a wonderful job of the interior design and decor of the place. It is bright by feels warm and cozy. At the same time, the place has lots of windows with great urban view. The service is super friendly and welcoming. The quality of food is good and I really enjoyed that the portions are not huge. The best part of our experience tho was the dessert! I had green tea ice cream with sticky rice and I should say it is probably my favorite dessert in Pittsburgh. I would definitely go back, even if just for the ice cream. Highly recommended. read more

I really enjoyed the food at Senyai. This was my first time visiting and they really made my group feels comfortable and at home. Once I saw they had Giner tea, I had to order it. The Herbs spicy wings was definitely for my taste buds. Then I ordered the Crab spicey rice. The portion was large so I took half home. I was expecting more grab meat. Our waitress was extremely patient with us. Yes, I will eat there again. read more

We had our first take out from here. It was fantastic. Green curry was just how I like it!

Very nice atmosphere. They have window seats. If you feel like eating under the sun but still in a cool dry temperature, def recommend sitting at the window. There menu is simple. Noodle plate was delicious. I also had medium spicy panang curry. I tasted coconut milk a lot. If you want more curry and spicy out of it, recommend going for higher than medium. Over all it was good! read more

Senyai Thai Kitchen - Thai Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

My new favorite Thai place in Pittsburgh. Great food and super clean, which sometimes do not go hand in hand, but here they do. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Pad Thai with shrimp is my go to Thai meal and this easily tops the other big Thai restaurants everyone raves about (don't worry, it's spicy enough). The crab rangoon appetizer is also a-must. read more

Food is pretty good, but overpriced for portion size. It's a better experience to dine in rather than take out. I ordered a couple times through Grub Hub and it was ok, but the spice level wasn't consistent with other times I've eaten there. read more

Great atmosphere, amazing and attentive staff, and I have loved every single dish I have ever tried from here. You can go wrong with Senyai!

This place is amazing! Although I enjoy Thai food I had been getting bored of eating Thai as typically places I go all have the same typical dishes that are always prepared the same way and I enjoy trying new things. But I was so glad my friend suggested this place, which I hadn't tried before. This restaurant had so many interesting Thai dishes I had never had before, while also having the standard favorites for people who want to see familiar dishes. I ended up with the southern crab curry, which was a yellow curry dish with kale. I opted for rice noodles instead of rice, which the waitress recommended when I said I was hoping for a dish that had both noodles and crab, and she said it was how the owner enjoyed the dish as well. I was a bit hesitate to order crab, as lump crabmeat can be a bit sketchy sometimes in Pittsburgh, but it was sooo good! The lump crabmeat was generous and of very fresh high quality. The kale was also the perfect texture so it was just the right amount of softness. I ordered the dish medium spicy (2/3) and I was the perfect amount of spice for me but may be a bit on the higher end for some people as it was more like a 7 or 8 on a 10 point scale. We also had the crispy tofu appetizer which was delicious, and the tofu was cooked perfectly crispy and flavorful. The prices were a bit higher than some other Thai places, but it is worth it given the excellent quality and the portion sizes are also generous. They also have an interesting assortment of teas that can be ordered hot or iced. I had a blue lemongrass iced tea. The service was also prompt and friendly. The dining room is bright with cheerful colorful decorations and fresh flowers on every table. I particularly liked the interesting arched patterns on the ceilings, which is inspired by Thai architectural styles. We went later in the evening so there was plenty of seating but the dining room is fairly small so best to make a reservation if you come at a busier time as I imagine it must fill up fast. I'll definitely be back. read more

Yummy. It's been a few weeks since I ate, but all I can recall is it was yummy and VERY VERY VERY SPICY

I love Thai food, and I ate some incredible food when I visited Thailand. Tonight, I ordered tom yum soup with tofu and vegetable pad thai. Truly, it was my favorite Thai meal I've ever had. So flavorful and balanced, and the vegetables were fresh and cooked perfectly. I'll definitely order again. read more

This is a great space. The decor is modern but it is still cozy. Food was good but some items were pushed and didn't live up to my expectation. They also only do a hot scale of 1-3. We were told that 3 was habanero hot, so we ordered everything at a 2 and it definitely lacked some heat! We started with Tom yum soup with tofu that was delicious. We ordered the summer rolls which I highly recommend. We also ordered the dumplings which we were told were a fan favorite but they never came. And the kale salad with tomatoes, avacado and apple cider vinaigrette was pushed but fell short. For dinner, we had the panang Chicken and prik king stir fry with veggies. Both were good. Then it was suggested that we order the crab curry and the Mama kee mao. Crab curry was good but it could have used some veggies since it only came with kale. The Mama kee mao came with shrimp and squid, but the squid was a little rubbery. The noodles were ok, but remind you of cup of noodles Raman. $5 corkage fee for wine and $1 corkage fee for beer. read more

We love this restaurant. The food is fresh and just delicious. The portions are just the right amount and the atmosphere is delightful.

The food was exquisite as always!! I'm so glad to be able to get this with delivery during the pandemic. The order came quickly and the meal was hot and fresh. If you haven't tried the crab curry, it is not to be missed! read more

Finally amazing Thai food in Shadyside! I got takeout on a rainy Friday night and this Thai food hit the spot. Started with the Chicken Satay- the chicken was perfectly cooked with a tasty peanut sauce. For our main, we ordered the Crab Curry which was delicious & unique- I've never had a curry like this before! It was one of the more expensive curries on the menu, but totally worth it as there was a decent amount of meat & as it was SO flavorful! Also got the Pad Kee Mao- it was so good. In addition to the noodles, it was loaded with tons of fresh vegetables. I already know that I am going to be a frequent customer here! read more

Although I don't eat hot spicy I give it a try when I was going to Laundry Factory. They have some no hot spicy options too. I pick it up the food and everything was very delicious specially their fried rice and Spring rolls. The restaurant was very busy that night with wait line. I like how it is decorated and it's atmosphere, it also have outdoor tables during spring/summer. read more

My favorite place in Pittsburgh! The crab curry is amazing. The atmosphere/decorations are super cute

Senyai is a super cute little restaurant in Shadyside that my boyfriend and I decided to try last night when we both had a craving for Thai but didn't want to go to Noodlehead (again). The restaurant itself is beautiful and so clean. They recommend reservations because the restaurant is so small but we were seated very quickly at a table by the window. We ordered the Crab Rangoons which were delicious, I probably wouldn't get them again though because they taste just like every other crab Rangoon I've ever eaten. For dinner I got the Grapow Kai Crop Chef's Special and he got the Pad Medmamuang and both were INCREDIBLE! We both like spicy food so we both picked spicy level 2 on a scale of 0-3. It was the perfect level of spice. The portion sizes are bigger than they seem. I highly recommend Senyai Thai and we'll be back again soon! PS. It's also BYOB!!! $5 corking fee for wine, $1 for beer. read more

Very clean and very cute. Service was super fast and food was good. Totally recommend. Keep in mind it's byob! $1 for beer, $5 for wine. Not bad! read more

Their pad thai and curry noodles were excellent. Had a very good and unique taste to it. However, I didn't like the environment of the restaurant, as it was basically built inside an ordinary house and the price is way too high to justify, especially when their competitor Noodlehead (which also serves thai food) about two blocks away tastes just as good, has more choices on the menu , and is costs about 3-4 times less than this place. Only reason you should come is if you don't want to wait in line for an hour for noodlehead or you don't like the fact that Noodlehead is cash only, but I'd still recommend going to noodlehead instead. read more

Fast service and really tasty. The spice rating is a bit conservative - I got a medium spice level dish and it was pretty mild.

It was OK. The lavender lemonade was the best part of the meal. The service was not bad. They did not take American Express as an FYI.

Small and very cute little place on Ellsworth. I have been here on multiple occasions because the food is so delicious and fresh. They use organic chicken and that really makes a difference. Everything on the menu is delicious, I personally love their green, and massaman curry. The raw papaya salad is delicious and the ginger tea is a must order! read more

Service is great. Dining area is small with only tables. Good portions. Reasonable prices.

Really good curry (lots of choices!) and courteous staff. Get the hottest spice level!

The crab curry is the best choice! Great decoration, really friendly and nice! We had a chicken pad Thai, herb wings and the crab curry! The herb wings is okay, nothing too special, pad Thai is more sweeter than what I had before, but the crab curry is delicious! Recommend ordering the crab curry. read more
